Yes, that's certainly descriptive of Biden's continuing candidacy, but it's also the title of a 2009 film featuring star Democratic donor George Clooney.

It seems like our hero is trying to reprise his role as a traveling corporate hatchet man fingering individuals deemed no longer useful to the company for firing. Personally, I liked the Anna Kendrick characteer in the movie better - sharp, upwardly mobile, future-oriented woman. Looks like a Joe/Kamala duel in the offing.

Just to clarify, actress Anna Kendrick played character Natalie Keener in the movie "Up In The Air". In that movie, character Ryan Bingham, played by George Clooney, was Natalie's boss, for whom he developed a high degree of respect (never laid a hand on her, BTW). Actress Vara Farminga, played Alex Goran, a character with whom Ryan had his "flings on the road", but whom he embarrassingly found out was."M2K".

I can draw analogies to Joe's present dilemma in his campaign. I can also draw analogies to "Julius Caesar", and I'll bet those more familiar with Shakespeare than am I, can find many others.

Here is the George Clooney op-ed appearing in The Times which I believe is Mike's catalyst for this topic.
